Paper approaches some characteristics and bioengineering applications of a handheld depth sensor for low-cost 3D scanning and reconstruction. The Kinect depth sensor used in this work was launched on June 2009 and was based around a gaming webcam peripheral. The Kinect sensor uses a structured light technique in order to develop real-time 3D surfaces. The 3D model of anatomic surface may have a lot of bioengineering applications. Some observations and comparisons are presented in connection with the scanning and 3D reconstruction of different anatomic surfaces.
